Hello Team,
I am dreading weighing in today but after I go to the dentist and do my 30 day shred work out I will. I am nervous that I won't see the numbers that I want to but I have to think again that this is only the beginning and I have been doing great. It just takes time.
How are all of you doing? TGIF!0 -

I have my fingers crossed for you. Any loss is a great result!! :happy:0 -
emilyahsmommy, I hope the weigh in goes well but no matter what we will really hit it hard in August so you will see results!!!!!!0

I just wanted to let people know I had an ultrasound today and found out my baby doesn't have a definite heartbeat.
So waiting to see what happens next, but I may not be around as much for a few days. 0 -

This is a challenge and is not a replacement! If you need a beginner workout please contact your team
captain for ideas.

What are up and downs?0

Just put them in your search bar and youtube will pop up and show you.0

I'm guessing they're also referred to as "burpees" too....0

Thx for posting the youtube link Reesa!!! I was not sure either and will try to get a confirmation on that.
Also I will need everyone's weight on August 1st at the start of this. I will address it again as we get closer to starting.
Hope everyone is having a blessed Friday evening! I have been getting an error message for most of the evening when I try to click on anything on the site and it's been frustrating to say the least.

YAY!!
I love Week One - it's just like Boot Camp!!!!
Can I start today!????0 -
I'm really going to have to work my butt off come August 1st. Thats the end of another challenge I'm in, and sometimes I tend to relax right after a challenge (you know because I was kicking my *kitten* during it lol)....but I'm ending one and jumping into another, this is new territory for me! lol But at least this will probably keep me from messing up for a week...and getting set back :grumble:
Looking forward to week 1 .... wonder how I'll feel after all that exercise! lol

Via Gary this am...........
I knew that one would need clarification.
UPS and DOWNS
http://www.youtube.com/user/sixpackshortcuts?v=bkD9LwDBWW0&feature=pyv&ad=7237549087&kw=exercise
The very first part of this exercise is the up and downs. They may be modified by simply starting on all 4's and then standing up quickly and returning to this position to all 4's. This is a cardio exercise! Don't be freaked out but all he is doing just do the first part and modify if needed.
REMEMBER ITS THE VERY FIRST THING HE DOES ON THE FLOOR that's it! Unless you are a real rockstar then finish it out if you can. It's a crazy exercise. Be ready for great exercises you can do at home without anything!0 -
Thank you for the stats Jules!!!!
Here is another message via Gary:
Encourage all of your folks to take a current full body pic before Monday. Have them send it to you. At the end of the challenge we will have them take another pic and send that to you. I'll compile all of the pics and we can do a before and after photo slide show. I'm going to do a prize for the winner of the biggest transformation. I'll narrow it down to the top 10 and let everyone vote! It'll be a blast!0 -
Haha Lori - this is really a challenge!!
I now have to have a photo too!!
lol0 -
***Good Morning TEAM PERSEVERANCE*** ~ Lori is awake and entering start weights into her spreadsheet this am. If you haven't given me yours yet you can either message me or post it here in our team forum. Have a blessed Saturday and I will be off and on today!0

Wow!!! Impressive Burpees
Team Perseverance - whilst today I let an elderly man on a mobility scooter beat me (I was laughing so much!) I really WILL be serious in our challenge - I PROMISE!!
(although if I have to go up against another mobility scooter ...............!! ) :laugh:
